"This new model has all the features of the Canon Rebel T4i with a few extras… a 360 degree rotating Mode Dial, a series of Creative Filters that can be used when shooting in Live View and an Improved Casing to give the camera a more upmarket look."

Mind you, I don't mind this $$ grab by canon by tweaking & renaming the T4i. Given that I'd like to update my P&S (a T2i) to something w/ a touchscreen. & the T5i will likely push the T4i refurbs/CLP's down in price within the next 6-12 months (the black friday sale should be nice this year for the T4i, 60D, 7D & maybe even the 5D2/3??).

But I'm truly curious, does anyone really believe that the T5i is even an incremental upgrade? I understand that it may be a little embarassing to hard core Canon fans but I really don't care what Canon does with their rebel line. If it helps Canon stay profitable, I really don't mind.

Honestly, some of their marketing descions on lens offerings (focal lengths, etc.) is what aggravates me...
